    The location is extremely beautiful, a pleasure to wake up to. Not too far from Llandovery, which we were visiting for the sheep festival. We had everything we could have wished for and the host was very quick to respond to messages. On the first...

    this place is so special. I loved how remote it was and how comfortable it felt. The beds were comfortable and as there are only 2 tents with a shared kitchen area- it felt very secluded. the kitchen had everything we needed and the weather was...

Calon Y Goedwig is an off-grid glamping retreat nestled on a hillside just 3 miles outside Llandovery, Carmarthenshire. Our 6m bell tent, Celyn, sleeps up to 6 people. A cosy and comfortable space with a double bed, 2 single beds and a double sofa bed. Bedding is supplied. Small bedside cupboards and a shelved unit with a variety of board games/books and coffee table. Just outside is a private composting toilet, a gas heated shower and a covered outdoor kitchen with everything you need to cook up a feast. There is also a kettle, barbeque and firepit with bench. Derwen, our other 6m bell tent sleeps up to 6 people. A cosy and comfortable space with a double bed, 2 single beds and a small double sofa bed. All bedding is supplied. A private composting loo just beside, a gas heated shower and use of one side of the covered outdoor kitchen. Freezer blocks are placed in cool boxes in the kitchen before your arrival and can be swapped daily. Each side of the kitchen has a handy worktop with a double camping stove. Cooking and dining equipment is stored in plastic boxes underneath the worktops. Please make every effort to clean and replace in readiness for the next guests. Food waste can be placed in the caddy provided. Please take all rubbish back with you to dispose of / recycle. Firewood for the firepits can be purchased in many of the shops in Llandovery. Each unit has some books, playing cards and board games, plus some binoculars to spot the Red Kites. The area is truly beautiful, with stunning views of rolling hills and mountains. Close to several walking routes including The Cambrian Way and the Heart of Wales Trail.
I am an artist living and working at the neighbouring property. I take much inspiration for my artwork from the beautiful surroundings. My studio is an old railway carriage and is in our front lawn with amazing views of hills and mountains. My husband is a mechanic and has a garage in Llandovery. We have two teenage children so between us we work as a team to provide a welcoming glampsite. We are lucky enough to be able to live with my mother on her sheep farm. As my childhood home, I would spend a huge amount of time playing and exploring outdoors. There are some lovely routes to walk nearby and spectacular views too. During the summer months we enjoy laying out on the lawn stargazing and spotting shooting stars. We have created a beautiful retreat in which we are pleased to share with our guests in the hope that they can appreciate the stunning environment. We will continue to plant wildflower seeds, perennials and trees to encourage bees, birds and other wildlife.
Calon Y Goedwig (Heart of the forest) is a secluded and peaceful glamping retreat with outstanding views of Carmarthenshire hills and mountains. A dark skies area.
